Ingredients
- 2.4 cups (500 g ) corn flour for arepas
- 1.2 tsp salt
- 0.6 cup (140 g) grated white cheese
- 2.4 cups (500 g) cool water (or more if needed)
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and white cheese. Stir in enough water to make a firm, slightly moist dough .
Cover the dough and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Divide the dough into 10 pieces and form each piece into a ball. Flatten the ball slightly.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
Oil a griddle very lightly and warm it over medium heat. Cook the arepas on the griddle for about 5 minutes on each side, until a golden brown crust forms.
Transfer the arepas to a baking sheet and bake 20–25 minutes, turning them several times as they bake.
Serve immediately, with cheese, ham and black beans.
